But Zappos lists it as up to a 15 inch laptop</p> <p>The MZ Wallace will definitely fit a 15 inch laptop with room to spare. #1 is my pack bought at the beginning of 2017 and used for my daily commute until the about 5 months ago, when I switch to a different mz wallace pack. #2 is everything that was in the pack. And I could have fit more. Laptop used for demo is my antique 15” MacBook. Smaller work laptop gives me even more room.<br /> I think I’ve just talked myself into the blue lacquer one LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975273 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 23:42:07 +0000 Chris987 1975273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a nylon backpack made by Kipling. It’s all nylon and has a slot for a laptop but no padding for the laptop so you have to add your own (I use a sheet of bubble wrap). It keeps it very light. The straps ARE padded. It’s sort of halfway between sporty and dressy at least in my opinion. Got it at macys but I bet you can also find it on amazon. I’ll post a find later, I don’t have a good signal right now. UPDATE...see find below. I think there were a few similar models in slightly different sizes so make sure to get one that fits a laptop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975265 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 23:15:27 +0000 julijuli 1975265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Tumi backpack which fits my huge laptop and lets me carry it along with all the other stuff I need on to flights.&nbsp; For me, having a briefcase was not cutting it as my laptop was heavy and my back was suffering.&nbsp; It looks much nicer than a standard backpack and I've gotten positive comments on it.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975255 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 22:29:19 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1975255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand what you mean about the between-the-boobs problem, but can’t comment, as I’m not built to know. Apparently the link I pasted in didn’t work. Sorry about that! What I mean by “sling bags” (and I just googled and saw that several variations came up, so I see your confusion) are bags that I first heard of as a response /solution to the way people’s backs ached after they carried backpacks that had two straps on just one shoulder. So the weight was redistributed and a type of bag developed that fits more on your side and just has one strap. I’ve never used one, but one side is usually higher than the other, so I guess you have to decide when you buy it which side you’ll carry it on. Here’s one example: <a href="https://www.ebags.com/product/siamod/manarola-collection-sabotino-sling-messenger-bag/117070?productid=1304537" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebags.com/product/.....id=1304537</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975247 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 22:03:06 +0000 Anonymous 1975247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both from Nordstrom. &nbsp;Neither of mine will fit a laptop though. &nbsp; </p> <p>Rebecca Minkoff may have larger sizes of the same type. &nbsp;Regardless of the size, it&nbsp;is the design that will make getting a laptop in and out difficult. &nbsp;I was merely trying to suggest that you consider backpacks. &nbsp;They have been FABULOUS for my back/shoulder. &nbsp;</p> <p>Best wishes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975245 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 21:53:19 +0000 elpgal 1975245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling: where are these from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975244 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 21:52:39 +0000 elpgal 1975244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachel, too many steps alas!</p> <p>Kkards and Sterling: those look nice. If they can fit a laptop, I am in! </p> <p>FashIntern: you mean like a crossbody? For some reason those don't work for me. Boobs get in the way and they keep bumping around on my hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975161 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 15:10:13 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1975161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn’t that the whole point of a sling bag?<br /> <a href="http://www.ergonomics-info.com/ergonomic-shoulder-bag.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ergonomics-info.com.....r-bag.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975159 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 15:01:10 +0000 Anonymous 1975159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with <b>KKards</b>. &nbsp;When my shoulder/back bother me, I switch out my tote for a backpack. &nbsp;Less attractive, but oh so much more comfortable. &nbsp;I use these. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975140 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 14:17:06 +0000 kkards 1975140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>one more...i own (and love) this MZ Wallace backpack in camo....here it is in laquard black, giving it a dressier look.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975134 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 14:10:13 +0000 kkards 1975134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think ergonomic combined with tote is an oxymoron....<br />if the pain is really bad, i'd try a rolling case as rachy suggests...or go with a basic black backpack....<br />i like this tumi convertable one....or there's the sort of boring tum one...but if money was no object, i'd get a patent one ('cause nothing says dressy like patent), like this Stella McCartney one.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975084 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 10:03:42 +0000 rachylou 1975084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rolling case? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ergonomic-tote#post-1975038 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 03:47:04 +0000 elpgal 1975038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does such a thing exist? Or a backpack that looks ok with formal clothing?</p> <p> I generally carry a Tumi Voyageur tote as my work bag (structured, nylon, zips up and has feet) but with a laptop in it, it is getting heavy and exacerbating my shoulder pain. </p>
